Led Zeppelin's early bands.

The band was founded by guitarist jimmy page in 1968. Page first joined Yardbirds as a bass player in Yardbirds, but soon became a double guitarist with jeff baker, the original guitarist of the new recruit, and became the lead guitarist of the new recruit after Baker left the team.

The band "Recruits" is on the verge of disintegration after continuous performances and recordings. Page once had the idea of forming a "superstar band", in which Page and Baker played the guitar, Keith Moon and John Entwistle of WHO were the drummers and bassists respectively, and the singer was Steve Winwood of Traffic Band or Little Face Band. Although Page, Baker and Moon once recorded a song called Beck's Bolero (later included in jeff baker's first solo album of the same name), this super band has not yet been formed. But in the meantime, bassist john paul jones expressed his intention to be the guitarist of Page's future band.

At the same time, two other members of the new recruit quit the band, and Page and Chris Dreha, the bassist of the new recruit, started to form a new band to perform in Scandinavia. Singer Terry Reed turned down Page's invitation to join the band and recommended robert plant. In addition, plante, the new singer of the band, recommended John burnham, a drummer who worked happily with him. Chris Draga quit the band and became a photographer (his picture will appear on the back cover of the band's future debut album). At this time, john paul jones contacted Page, hoping to fill the position of bassist, and was welcomed and trusted by Page.

After the band was temporarily named New Yardbirds in New Yardbirds and performed in Northern Europe, the band began to conceive a new band name. Led zeppelin (or [[Ryder Zeplin. The name comes from a joke by Keith Moon (including John enquist's suggestion). Moon once described that Page's dreamy "superstar band" would collapse as quickly as pilot led zeppelin. In the end, the band adopted this name. In order to avoid the same pronunciation of "Leed" and "Lead", the band officially changed its name to led zeppelin (led zeppelin).

Shortly after the Nordic tour, the band's first album of the same name

Young and frivolous is the band's first famous song. During the live performance, Jimmy Page used the unique technique of Yardbirds's period-playing the guitar with the violin bow to form the unique sound effect of rock noise. This technique is a symbolic performance technique in the history of led zeppelin and rock music. Although many of the band's works in this period originated from the adaptation of blues classics, other songs such as "Broken Communication" still showed the band's unique and heavy timbre. The song "One Side of Black Mountain" shows Page's exquisite acoustic guitar skills. The folk song "Baby I'm Leaving You" was also carefully arranged by the band by alternately playing acoustic guitar and electric guitar.

The overnight fame of the first album not only laid the foundation for the band's legend, but also enabled the band to successfully enter the American market.

Love Actually, Broken Heart, Lamberton and Moby Dick were born. This song is mainly composed of the drums solo by john bonham (john bonham has become the number one drummer in many magazines and the unparalleled king of drums since the birth of rock music).

The album basically continues the overall style of the first album. The opening song "The Love of All Lolita" was adapted from the riffs of Jones and Bonham's Rhythm Department, which was very amazing and became the representative repertoire of the band. "Led Zeppelin II" even surpassed the success of the first album, occupying the first position in the album charts of Britain and the United States. In the London 8-minute program of the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, British X-factor champion leona lewis and Jimmy Page accompanied Love Actually on guitar. Page and plante are both blues fans; In their first two albums, "You Shocked Me" and "All Love" were covers or adaptations of the works of the blues legend Willie Dixon. Later, the band was accused of infringement, and it was not until 15 that the band paid compensation.

Page once said in an interview: "Rolling Stone is Chuck Berry's son, and our father is a howling wolf. The music inspiration of the band was also inspired by American rock pioneers fats domino and little richard. Besides, the band often plays Elvis Presley's country rock music. In led zeppelin's performances, which often last for more than three hours, the band will improvise the soul of james brown or Motown, and the funk that Jones and burnham are good at.

The band's third album.

In order to create this album, the band deliberately lived in seclusion in Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote village in Wales. Compared with the previous two albums, this album has more acoustic instruments featuring Celtic and English traditional folk songs, which once again shows Page's versatile guitar playing skills. The cover design of the album is also very special.

In 1970, 1 1 month, led zeppelin Atlantic Records Company released a single called "Immigration" against the band's wishes. (Earlier, Pacific Records released the single "Love of All Lolita", which also cut the length of the song. ) The back of this single record records songs that are not included in the album. Hey, what can I do? In order to maintain the integrity of the album, the band has always opposed the release of singles; Moreover, in order to resist the bad influence of TV programs on its music quality, the band has always refused TV interviews, and the band lacking TV exposure can only communicate with fans through excellent live performances.
